Interesting concept (h/t to @rward ).
They take FBS offers reported and rank the prospects based solely on that.

Interestingly, Watts was the #32 prospect for 2016 based on this.
Inherent problems:
- Not all offers get reported
- Some offers that get reported are fibs
- Some guys shut down recruiting early when they get the offer they want
I do think it can be an interesting new way to look at prospects, but I think there's much more legitimacy to the star system -- which is heavily influenced by who and how many offered, but also reviews film/camps and actually talks to the colleges recruiting (or not recruiting) guys.
